which the Font-Ubides House (a.k.a. Monsanto Residence) stands out for its circular porches. Other buildings by Blas Silva include the Frau Residence and the Salazar-Candal Residence, both also listed in the NRHP. In addition to Blas Silva, at least ten other architects designed in the Ponce Creole style: Herminio Valls, Francisco Valls, Eduardo Salichs, Alfredo Wiechers, Adolfo Nones, Francisco Grevi, Marcos Ramos, Elias Concepcion, and Miguel Porrata-Doria and Antonio Geigel. Examples Castillo 34 One example of the Ponce Creole style can be appreciated is Blas’ 1913 design of the Font-Ubides House at Calle Castillo number 34. This residence stands out among the great houses of Ponce for its aggressive incorporation of curvilinear forms and ornament. The house incorporates elements of Neoclassical and Art Nouveau architectural styles. The traditional continuous raised veranda along the front facade is broken up into two and twisted out of its usual linearity into the curved forms preserved today. Characteristic of the architecture to abound in Ponce contemporaneous to Castillo 34, is a profusion of aplique, and eclectic combination and juxtaposition of shapes, particularly curvilinear, and a general ostentation of articulation. Cristina 70 Calle Cristina number 70, commissioned by Ermelindo Salazar and subsequently home to the Museum of Puerto Rican Music, is another example of Ponce Creole architecture. The structure was designed by Juan Bertoli Calderoni.En precario la sede ponceña: Incierto futuro para el Centro Cultural. Jason Rodríguez Grafal. La Perla del Sur. 9 March 2011.

Today, Cristina 70 houses a museum and gallery depicting the various influences on Puerto Rican art, while also serving as the headquarters of the Centro Cultural de Ponce Carmen Solá de Pereira, the cultural center of the city of Ponce, where it is also used for educational and cultural activities. The structure incorporates elements of Colonial Spanish and Ponce Creole architecture. Its courtyard is surrounded by a gallery.
